Keep in mind this is not DRM free like Humble Bundles used to be. It uses the truly awful Kobo DRM.

If you've got a Kindle its a giant pain to get these onto it.
Never used Kobo before, do you actually own the content (ie can download a PDF or equivalent) or is this just a "license to read" that can be revoked?
It actually would probably be easier on a Fire tablet to get Google Play on it and download the Kobo app honestly

How sad it is that we can't get stores to sell content in a way that we want to use it.

No. Not unless you download something like calibre then use unnamed plug-ins to de drm it then send to your tablet.

Has anyone tried to download/export these outside of Kobo? I bought a Humble books bundle a while back but there is no download option for those, so I assume it's a title-specific setting. Wondering if these Discworld books can be exported . . .

Kobo books fortunately can be de-DRMed using the right Calibre plugins, which might be easier. But because breaking DRM is illegal under the DMCA it can sometimes be a cat-and-mouse game finding the right plugin, much like finding what you want on the high seas.

If you just download this content from a good Internet resource without drm or cost, you can solve all the issues.

It's almost like if they can redefine ownership we can redefine purchase.

Remember when Walmart had digital music in 2003.

From Dodgeball the movie

Dwight: We're still missing the teenage love puppy and Steve the Pirate.
Owen: Who's Steve the Pirate?
Dwight: The only guy on our team that dresses like a pirate!
Owen: Wait, there's a guy on our team who dresses like a pirate?

If ebooks are like a buck or four I just buy them (if they're not on Kindle Unlimited), if they're more than that or a pain to get on my Kindle, I just pirate them.

Netflix is putting out worse "content" every day and is jacking up the price constantly. We just canceled our membership there last week and I'll get the very few Netflix shows we want and watch them via Plex.

I stopped trying to pirate music when Apple/Google/etc. said I can listen to all the music I want for like $15/mo.

When media companies are reasonable with the pricing and access and content, I'm all too happy to pay for the convenience. If you try to sell me a shit sandwich for an unreasonable price, I won't buy it.

That doesn't solve the illegal "issue".

What if you buy it with DRM, and then download the content from an illegal source? Since you own the content already, does the file you downloaded become less illegal? Kind of like making a backup copy of a CD you bought?

Any Slickdeals lawyers out there? Haha.

(Or more simply, just borrow the books from the local library. Mine have gotten into ebook lending too)
